Hello, BlueSky! I'm Relma, a game scouter!
My mission: scour the vast sea of fledgling games to unearth those that Speak with Divine Inspiration.
To that end, I play & share my thoughts on game demos that hold promise & connect them to resources
I also do fanart and will (eventually) stream.

The secret to #Halloween as an adult is to only buy the candy that you, personally, like. And lots of it.
That way neither kids nor grown-ups get disappointed afterward when all they have is the dregs of the cheap variety pack from Walmart.

Your biannual reminder to all #indiegame s on #SteamNextFest to NOT TAKE YOUR DEMO DOWN after the event!
Don't do it. Don't f-king do it. It's not worth disappointing people who happen to have lives. If you do it I will leave a strongly worded post on your game's forum.

Seriously do NOT fucking take your demo down or I will be sad at you.

Part of The reason #genAI is more accepted in programming in the #indiegame industry rather than art is because it naturally lends itself to *quality control*.

If your art is slop, you have an ugly game
If your writing is slop, you have a bad game
If your code is slop, you don't have a game at all

Ooh, it could be in the form of an eBook that updates itself every week, and you can automate "pulling" the latest update from your favorite eReader!

Charles Dickens, is that you?

I drew this one a while ago, but it's still a really good game.

OK but if Brad Falchuck dies first, do all the interviews he did air?

If not bomb, why bomb-shaped?

I'm assuming the post that prompted those security researchers to "tear it to ribbons" has been deleted; could you kindly link to a report by those researchers explaining what is wrong from an OpSec standpoint?

I like her; she looks like Dora.
When will you have a demo available?

Reminds me of Mrs. Doomsday from The Demons Told Me to Make This Game. She's elderly, and experienced in the supernatural to know things like "never give out your True Name" yet also traumatized to the point where she willingly sealed some of her own memories away.

they look like some kinda non-binary leprechaun

If it affects normal gameplay; that is, one is likely to run into the issue when going in blind, then it should be patched.
If it is something that can only be reproduced with frame-perfect inputs, then leave it in.

Blank(?) from Blanksword by @quinnkdev.bsky.social

Muse Hunter Relma @relma2.bsky.social · 15d

well, it would foreshadow what the original "Blank"'s "role" was...?

Muse Hunter Relma @relma2.bsky.social · 15d

yooo i just realized Blank's outfit resembles that of a... jehovah's witness? (those are the ones who canvas door-to-door right?)
Was that design intentional? Is it foreshadowing?

Muse Hunter Relma @relma2.bsky.social · 16d

what application(s) do you have in mind?
